The R-C-E-F blood group system of chimpanzees : serology and genetics
1993
: Six chimpanzee alloimmune antibodies define 20 phenotypes of the R-C-E-F blood group system, the counterpart of the human Rh system. Of the several specificities of this system, the Rc constitutes the crucial link with human Rh since the reactions of some chimpanzee alloimmune anti-Rc sera with human red cells parallel those obtained with human anti-Rho reagents. Reciprocally, properly absorbed human anti-Rho sera detect Rc specificity on chimpanzee red cells. Tests with large panels of human monoclonal anti-D antibodies confirm the notion of shared epitopes between human alloantigen Rho(D) and chimpanzee alloantigen Rc.
